An Information System for Community Nursing

In this article, an information system for community nursing is presented. It is critically evaluated on the basis of practical experiences. Its goal is not only to reduce the workload with modern information and communication technology but also to improve the quality of nurses' work. The quality improved because of the process method of work, which led toward a better client/patient orientation and more creative and research‐oriented nurses' work based on nursing knowledge management support. It relies on an integrated and structured information picture, with special emphasis on transparency and interpretability.
